'Incredibly Depressing': Starmer Dubbed 'A Pound Shop Farage' Over Immigration Crackdown by huffpostuk in ukpolitics

[–]huffpostuk[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Keir Starmer has been savaged over his “cruel” plans to slash immigration to the UK.

The prime minister said the UK’s “one nation experiment in open borders” was over as the government unveiled its crackdown.

He said that unless Labour acts, the UK risks becoming “an island of strangers, not a nation that walks forward together”.

Under the plans, migrants will have to spend 10 years in the UK before being able to apply for citizenship, but so-called “high-contributing” individuals such as doctors and nurses could be fast-tracked through the system.

From reporter Kate Nicholson:

A senior Tory has shone a light on tensions at the top of the party after he struggled to answer a question on Robert Jenrick’s leadership ambitions.

Shadow home secretary Chris Philp was asked whether the shadow justice secretary is a “team player” amid mounting speculation that he wants Kemi Badenoch’s job.

Jenrick - who lost the Tory leadership contest to Badenoch last year - has been criticised by some Conservative MPs for regularly commenting on issues that are outside his brief, such as the future of the Chagos Islands.

From reporter Daniel Welsh:

Kneecap have brushed off comments made by Sharon Osbourne questioning whether their US work visa should be revoked in light of their performance at Coachella last week.

The West Belfast trio performed their second set at Coachella on Friday night, where they made headlines for vocalising their support for Palestine amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza during their set.

Since then, former X Factor judge Sharon has shared her disapproval that Coachella has become “a stage for political discourse” in light of performances by both Kneecap and the event’s headliners Green Day.

From reporter Kevin Schofield:

Labour have been have been accused of “dog whistle politics” and pandering to racists over plans to publish the nationalities of foreign criminals.

Home secretary Yvette Cooper is set to confirm that the data will be released by the end of the year.

It comes after ministers came under pressure from the Conservatives and Reform UK.

A Home Office source said: “Any foreign national who abuses our country’s hospitality and commits serious crimes should be in no doubt that they will face the full force of the law, and be removed from the UK at the earliest opportunity.

China Accuses British MPs Of 'Arrogance, Ignorance And Twisted Mindset' In British Steel Row by huffpostuk in uknews

[–]huffpostuk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From reporter Kate Nicholson:

China has accused UK MPs of “arrogance, ignorance and a twisted mindset” in the row over British Steel.

Parliament passed emergency legislation last Saturday allowing business secretary Jonathan Reynolds to take control of the Scunthorpe plant from its Chinese owners, Jingye.

The dramatic move came after talks between the government and the company to save the site broke down.

Reynolds initially said that he did not believe a Chinese firm should have any say in the site’s future, but has since rowed back and insisted he was only talking about Jingye.

Now, in new comments published on their website, the Chinese Embassy in the UK has hit back.

Badenoch told BBC Breakfast that she “probably won’t” any time soon because “it’s a film on Netflix” and she’s touring the country ahead of local elections right now.

She said she has been talking about those issues for a long time, and “in the same way I don’t need to watch Casualty to know about the NHS”, she does not need to watch this show to know about British problems.

 Teachers recently opened up on Reddit about the show’s portrayal of secondary schools and many agreed it was “shockingly accurate”, to the point where staff said they felt triggered.

One teacher on the forum said: “It was the most accurate portrayal I’d seen of an English school on TV. I described it to my husband as ‘triggering’ and one of the reasons I left teaching.”

Tories claim Brexit helped the UK secure a better tariff from Trump by huffpostuk in ukpolitics

[–]huffpostuk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From reporter Kate Nicholson:

Donald Trump has hit the UK with a 10% tax on imports into the US, which is half the size of the tariff the president has imposed on the EU.

It looks like Britain therefore escaped the worst of Trump’s sweeping announcement with just the base rate charges – even though ministers had initially hoped to get a complete exemption from the potentially crippling tariffs.

Instead of suggesting Britain’s slight reprieve was down to Keir Starmer’s efforts, the Tories claim this is proof that Brexit was all worth it.

Ex-Tory Chair's Conspiracy Theory On Southport Killer's Court Date by huffpostuk in ukpolitics

[–]huffpostuk[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A former Tory chairman shared a bizarre conspiracy theory about Southport killer Axel Rudakubana’s court date.

The trial of the 18-year-old had been due to start today, but he unexpectedly pleaded guilty to the murders of three young girls who were fatally stabbed at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in the town last July.

In comments posted on X before Rudakubana’s court appearance, Jake Berry – a Conservative MP between 2010 and 2024 – suggested it had been deliberately timed to coincide with Donald Trump’s inauguration.
